A Force Reconnaissance Marine with the 31st Marine

A Force Reconnaissance Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit's Maritime Raid Force uses a hammer to breach a barrier during a Military Operation on Urban Terrain training exercise as part of Realistic Urban Training Exercise 19-1 on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, Jan. 23, 2019. RUTEX 19-1, the first iteration of the exercise that the 31st MEU has conducted in Hawaii, will incorporate scenarios and considerations that the Marines and Sailors of the MRF will factor into any real-world situation in an urban environment and will allow them to integrate with local law enforcement agencies. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
